Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs just picked up 34 new certifications from the RIAA over the weekend. That's not a typo—thirty-four. That officially makes him the second-highest selling country artist of all time. So yeah, Luke’s not just crying at your wedding—he’s crying all the way to the bank.

Brantley Gilbert stopped mid-song when a fan fainted—cleared the crowd, checked on her himself, and then went full WWE on a lazy security guard: “Don’t stand there in a uniform if you ain’t gonna do sh—. Go on somewhere. Bye!” Crowd erupted. Security probably updated their LinkedIn.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly done. “People” magazine says the couple’s been on the rocks, and it’s basically over. They’ve been together since 2016 and have a daughter, Daisy, who turns 5 in August. Well, love may bloom... but sometimes it just wilts.

Rob Lowe admits his favorite workout song is “the cheesiest thing in the world.” And what is it? "Eye of the Tiger." That’s right—straight outta Rocky 3. He says he won’t max out without it. Meanwhile, if he’s running? No music. Just raw-dogging the wind like a true ‘80s action hero.

Welcome to The List,
The Schwartz is BACK, baby! Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Mel Brooks are returning for Spaceballs 2—possibly titled The Schwartz Awakens—coming in 2027. Yes, it’s real. Yes, I’m already practicing my Barf impressions. And yes, we’re all pretending Spaceballs: The Animated Series never happened.
-----
The Grammys are splitting the Country category in two: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Contemporary Country Album. Translation? There’s now a lane for banjos and bass drops. Some folks say it’s a response to Beyoncé’s win last year. Either way, prepare for a rhinestone-covered genre turf war.

Shaboozey told GQ his perfect date is all about good food, long convos, and that “let’s grab a drink” moment that just flows. No ziplining, no goat yoga—just vibes, calories, and chemistry. Honestly? Same. Feed me and talk to me? Sir, you may have my heart.

Is Taylor Swift pregnant? Fans think so after spotting a few flowy outfits—and now the rumor mill is churning harder than a Swiftie group chat during a re-record drop. Sources say she’s “glowing,” and it’s more than the Travis effect. Meanwhile, Taylor’s probably at home in sweats, laughing at all of us.
